	I have the following problem:
		I have some documents written in postscript, and I am trying
to print them, but they are not coming out at all.
		The documents are from an electronically distributed magazine, 
and some issues come out perfect, but others just don't come out. 
		The OS is Unix, and I use lpr -Pps <filename> to print.
	I get no errors during this, and when I do lpq to see the queue, it
reports that it IS printing, which is obviously not true.

	I would appreciate any suggestion as to the nature of the problem,
preferably through email, as I don't usually read this newsgroup.

It is extremely tough, for me anyway, to see what is wrong with a file when
I haven't seen the file.  Please post an example problem file, or send me
a copy.
